LATEST WORK
EIRCOM - SOCCER REPUBLIC - BETA
Secret Orange worked with YOMEGO (part of the DA Group) to help develop a new football fansite for the Irish world cup campaign.
Phase One of the site is live just now and allows users to watch a stack of video content, read news article and enter competitions.
Phase Two is currently in development which is built upon HUZU's Social Media Platform (see below!). This will offer fans full blown social networking capabilities.
HUZU - SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM & TOOLKIT
Secret Orange worked with HUZU (part of the DA Group) to help develop their new Social Media Platform.
The Huzu platform is ASP.NET 3.0 based and offers developers functionality to easily create online communities. They have a number of different editions tailored for different models. Go over and have a look!
Below are two of Secret Orange's latest, public facing websites. Secret Orange worked with designer Ricky Stevens on both of these projects.
THE MODEL TEAM
Secret Orange worked with The Model Team to develop their new website. This site uses Flash for its front end but adopts a strategy where individual pages are used. This was a concious decision to aid Search Engine Optimisation (the flash content is actually loaded from hidden HTML in the page) and usability (full use of the brower history buttons and copyable URL's in the address bar). The site is fully content managed using the Secret Orange Solution Framework.
CAMP BOVA
Secret Orange worked with Camp Bova, a new business startup who specialises in designing and creating funky clothing. Again, this site is fully content managed and e-commerce enabled by the Secret Orange Solution Framework.
